On the day the divorce filing was announced, Katie was spotted in a simple navy blue blouse. However, as the days progressed she stepped up her style. White shorts and a red top, were the order of the second day, while a cute on-trend polka dot halterneck and skinny jeans made her stand out over the weekend.

A yellow summer dress teamed with a denim jacket also ensured the actress wasn’t missed on a day at her lawyers office.

Could this be the start of a new fashion era for the starlet? Only time will tell.

See the gallery below for Katie’s five days of post divorce announcement style.

The 32-year-old actress is eager to embark on the “next chapter” in her life, and is looking forward to taking on new dramatic roles and experiencing new cultures with five-year-old Suri, her child with husband Tom Cruise.

She said: “I feel ready for the next chapter of my life. I’m excited to begin a new phase: roles I might have been afraid to play before, places I want to travel to with my daughter. I’d like to build the design business. But not too fast.”

The former ‘Dawson’s Creek’ star also admitted she is also keen to get rid of her mobile phone and live life in a more “old-fashioned” way.

She added in an interview with Marie Claire magazine: “I’m thinking about getting rid of [my cell phone]. Wouldn’t it be great to have an old-fashioned phone sheet? Go to your office, make your calls, and then continue with your day?”

Katie also revealed she has to work hard to balance motherhood with her career, but she is pleased to be able to expose Suri to people with “incredible talent”.

Asked how she balances the two, she said: “Because you have to. As an actress who is also a mother, you don’t have the luxury of drama.

“Being around this business, my daughter is exposed to people with incredible talent, people who are the best at what they do. People I only dreamed of getting to work with as a little girl.”

The actress premiered her debut short film ‘The Decision’ in New York last night and Katie revealed she was a big fan of the loose curls and dramatic red lips she sports in the mini-movie which she collaborated on with John Frieda to showcase the company’s Precision Foam Colour product.

She said: “You know this was a really fun project to work on and a great opportunity to bridge movies into beauty and I had a wonderful time working with John Frieda. I worked with [celebrity hairstylist] Harry Josh, he did my hair, it was really fun. It was something different, it was sort of a period look, so we had a good time.”

The short tells the story of high-profile actress Joan Hudson (Katie) who decides to sack her hair colourist and dye her own hair instead and Katie revealed she loved working on a project that her fans can relate to.

She explained to ‘Entertainment Tonight': “I love the idea of doing a short film about something I feel is really important to women. I also love being part of promoting a product that is available to all women.”

Last night London played host to two of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise, who stepped onto the red carpet for the premier of Knight and Day.

Cam, as usual, looked stunning in a silver luxe v-neck jumper dress, which she teamed up with black peep toe shoes.

She was joined on the red carpet by Camilla Kerslake, who opted for a smart white playsuit, which she accessorised with gladiator heels and a black belt. Some stars went for a more elegant look, namely X-Factor contestant Stacy Solomon who opted for a sophisticated two tone taffeta ball gown frock complete with a sash, while Edith Bowman opted for a black shift dress and blazer for her appearance.

However, there’s always one star who doesn’t quite get it right and this time we’re sorry to say the award for worst dressed goes to singer Anastacia, who went for a brassy Pat Butcher style leopard print coat for her red carpet entrance. We’re sorry Anastacia but The Vic is in Woolford, not the West End.

Katie Holmes has stepped away from the spotlight recently, concentrating on her daughter Suri rather than her acting. However it seems all of that is going to change, and what better way to re-start an acting career than playing the glamourous Jacqueline Kennedy.

The star married to Tom Cruise has been tapped to play the famous lady in the History Channel‘s new series The Kennedys alongside Greg Kinnear who will be taking the role of President John F. Kennedy Jr.

The 8 hour series will come out sometime next year and frankly we can’t think of anyone else who would be better placed to play the role. Her cropped hairstyle and classic dress sense is a perfect match to Jackies’.

Do you think Katie makes a good Jackie O? Let us know by leaving your comments below.

It probably isn’t much of a vacation, what with promoting Tom’s new movie Valkyrie and all these sure-to-have-been orchestrated photo ops. But we still can’t help feeling a twinge of jealousy at Katie Holmes’ wardrobe for her week in Brazil with the fam. She’s got Mom-chic down. Okay, we’re also a little envious of Suri’s adorable sun dresses. No lie.

Even more so than award shows, the Costume Institute Gala must be a really romantic date night. No pressure, just lots of glamour.

Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise and the Beckhams made quite an impression on the red carpet at the Met Gala last night. As guests of co-chair, Giorgio Armani the awesome foursome were also dressed by the Italian designer.

Katie Holmes looked absolutely stunning last night at the German premiere of her and Tom Cruise’ new movie Lions for Lambs. I love her silver sequined sweetheart dress, and her hair and makeup make her look exquisite. And don’t forget the shoes! Look at those dazzling pewter sequined beauties–the bow on the side is just the right touch to tone down the flashy look to make them very elegant and glamorous. Although they do make her quite a bit taller than Tom, they’re so hot, she just had to wear them. Her whole look is radiant–I’m glad the lil’ ‘crazy’ spell they were under for a while seems to have passed…
